A study on the removal of Pb ion from Pb-contaminated soil was carried out using ex-site extraction process. Tartaric acid (TA) and iminodiacetic acid sodium salt(IDA) as a washing agent were evaluated as a function of concentration reaction time mixing ratio of washing agent and recycling of washing agent. TA showed a better extraction performance than IDA. The optimum washing condition of TA and IDA were in the ratio of 1:15 and 1:20 between soil and acid solution during 1 hr reaction. The total concentrations of Pb ion by TA and IDA at three repeated extraction were 368.8 ppm and 267.5 ppm respectively. The recovery of Pb ion from washing solution was achieved by adding calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide form the precipitation of lead hydroxide and lead sulfide and optimum amounts of sodium sulfide and calcium hydroxide were 7 g/$\ell$ for the TA washing solution and 4 g/$\ell$, 5g/$\ell$ for the IDA washing solution respectively. The efficiency of recycle for TA and IDA washing solution were 78.8% , 95.1%, and 89.2%, 96.6% at third extractions under $Na_2S$ and $Ca(OH)_2$, respectively.

Takju, a Korean traditional rice wine, was prepared using Koji and Nuluk which were inoculated with single or combination culture of Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus shirousamii, and Aspergillus kawachii to investigate changes in mineral, amino acid and organic acid during fermentation. The mineral content showed a range of $1.50{\sim}15.20ppm\;for\;Ca,\;0.22{\sim}0.25ppm\;for\;Cu,\;1.60{\sim}2.10ppm\;for\;Fe,\;0.17{\sim}0.55ppm\;for\;Mn,\;0.68{\sim}1.00ppm\;for\;Zn,\;3.00{\sim}40.50ppm\;for\;K,\;5.25{\sim}19.50\;for\;Mg,\;1.43{\sim}2.95ppm\;for\;Na,\;and\;3.00{\sim}63.0ppm$ for P. It has been found that Takju had 16 kinds of amino acid including aspartic acid. A. niger Nuluk showed the highest contents in total amino acids, while A. kawachii Koji was the lowest in amino acids. The major amino acids were glutamic acid, alanine, leucine, and phenylalanine. The order of organic acids from the highest content in Takju were citric acid> tartaric acid> pyruvic acid> malic acid> lactic acid> acetic acid.

Fumaric acid was the major organic acid in the leaves of A. altissima, and also formic acid, acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid and sorbic acid were determined, and two unknown were found.

A survey of the free amino acids and organic acids in the shoot of Phyllostachys edulis was made by means of amino acid autoanalyzer and gas chromatograph. The results of the survey are summerized as follows. 1. Eighteen amino acids found in bamboo shoot were lysine, histidine, arginine, tryptophan, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, threonine, serine, proline, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine, and an unknown was found. Serine showed the highest amount and more than about 44% of total free amino acids. 2. Oxalic acid was the major organic acid, and formic acid, acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid and sorbic acid were determined, and two unknown were found.

The present study was undertaken to determine the changes of physicochemical and antioxidant activity using leaf and root in hot air-dried Allium hookeri (HA) and freeze-dried Allium hookeri (FA). The leaf of HA was higher level of moisture and crude fat compared with those of the leaf of FA. The crude fat content in root of HA was higher than that in FA. However, moisture, crude ash, crude protein and carbohydrate did not show any differences between two different drying methods. The organic acid contents of Allium hookeri root including oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid showed the differences between hot air-drying and freeze-drying methods. The major minerals were Ca, K and Mg, which were higher level of the leaf of HA compared with those of FA. The leaf of HA showed the highest vitamin C content (801.65 mg/100 g). The content of vitamin E in the leaf of FA was higher than that of HA. The contents of total polyphenol and total flavonoid in the FA leaf were higher than that in HA. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity in leaf of HA (65.73%) was significantly higher than that of FA (57.73%).

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of emulsifiers on the quality of steamed bread. initial pasting temperature of the flour was decreased from $63.8^{\circ}C$ to $59.40{\sim}62.95^{\circ}C$ by adding 1% of emulsifiers such as monoglyceride, lecithin, sugar ester and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM). But other rheological properties of the doughs were varied with different emulsifiers. Flour with 1% sugar ester showed the lowest value of final viscosity and set back, therefore sugar ester might be effective for retard the retrogradation of bread. By alveogram test, flour with 1% DATEM showed the highest value of P (tenacity) but the lowest value of L (extensibility), that means DATEM might be effective for strengthening tenacity of dough but it lowered extensibility. After 72 hours of storage test, the steamed bread based on the flour with 1% monoglyceride showed the best crumb softness and the highest score of sensory test.

The present work is aimed to evaluate the conditions of the hydride generation (HG) for germanium analysis by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-atomic emission spectrometry (AES). Twelve different kinds of acids were used such as phosphoric, hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, perchloric, boric, tartaric, malic, oxalic, tannic, citric, and acetic acid. It was found that phosphoric acid yielded the maximum efficiency of hydride generation. Also, efficient hydride generation was obtined with the buffer solutions containing phosphate ions over a wide range of pH. In addition, in the presence of phosphoric acid the interference caused by metals was suppressed in the hydride generation of germanium. As the concentrations of a reducing agent and a stabilizing increased the hydride generation efficiency and the acid concentration proviaing the maximum intensity were increased. By using an analytical method developed in this study, the contents of germanium in water and rock samples were determined. The detection limit of germanium in the presence of phosphoric acid was $0.03{\mu}g/L$.

Effects of pH, organic acides and UV irradiation on the browning of ginseng were investigated. Browning of ginseng tended to increase slightly in the alkaline pH range, whereas no discernible pH effect was observed in the pH ranges of 3.0-5.0 and 10.0-12.5. The treatment of fresh ginseng with organic acid such as citric acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid greatly enhanced the browning reaction of ginseng but all treatments of mixture of glucose, glutamic acid, and glucose+glutamic acid with fumaric acid decreased the browning reaction except the treatment of fumaric acid only. The addition of ascorbic acid in concentration of greater than 0.1 M markedly accelerated the browning reaction and concurrently increased the red color, a characteristic color of quality red ginseng. Irradiation of ultraviolet light while drying red ginseng increased the brown color intensity in the first 5 days and thereafter decreased the brown color intensity.

The square planar dichloro platinum(II) complex has been prepared with the optically active S-dmdabp, which is found to take the conformation in the [Pt(S-dmdabp)Cl$_2]$ complex.

In continuing our search for biologically active compounds from Korean Compositae medicinal plants, we investigated the constituents of the aerial parts of Lactuca indica L. and isolated a phenylpropanoid derivative from its MeOH extract. The chemical structure was characterized by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR to be di-E-caffeoyl-meso-tartaric acid (1). Compound 1 was isolated for the first time from this plant. In this paper, we suggest that the NMR assignment at C-2 of (+)-taraxafolin-B should be corrected. In the human HBV-transfected liver cell line HepG2.2.15, the compound 1 effectively reduced HBV DNA level in the release of mature HBV particles from HepG2.2.15 cultivation.
